The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel will lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were en route to assist an elder lovely lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel navy blue Audi A4 in Carleton. I had been advised she had left the filling station and was broken down in a country lane en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I turned up at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel since I had only just bought it a few days ago when my previous car, which I used for about twenty years, inevitably died". I got the job completed and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Lancashire woman!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
